Meeting Your Fixed Income Liquidity Needs

A Consultative Approach. We work with you to create a portfolio that seeks risk-efficient and cost-effective market exposure based on your risk and return objectives.

Breadth and Depth. We offer a number of funds and separately managed account structures — from cash management to long duration across multiple investment vehicles and currencies — in both active and index strategies.

Actively Managing Portfolios at Every Stage to Maximize Your ReturnNorthern Trust takes a consistent approach to active fixed income management, focusing on identifying relative value at the issue and sector level, while closely monitoring and controlling portfolio risk relative to your chosen benchmark. Our emphasis on areas where we believe you will be compensated for moving away from benchmark exposure has resulted in superior risk-adjusted returns.

Proven Investment Philosophy

We use multiple investment strategies, including sector rotation, issue selection, and duration and yield curve management, to focus on total return.

Through our rigorous buy and sell discipline, we seek to add value by underweighting or avoiding problem credits and sectors.

Experience Supported by ResearchOur experienced team of portfolio managers is supported by our proprietary credit research, and uses state-of-the-art technology to support quantitative decision-making. Our in-house economic research group conducts extensive fundamental analysis of the domestic and international macroeconomic environments. This research is used to determine value at the sector and security level.

Providing you Intelligent Indexing® SolutionsMaximizing returns while minimizing costs and preserving wealth. This is the ultimate goal for most investors. Northern Trust's Intelligent Indexing process helps investors achieve this goal through a disciplined investment approach focused on minimizing tracking error and managing total costs.
